I'm trying to find out how many people have had their Pip-Boy Edition pre-orders cancelled by Walmart.

Just a tip: the more specific you make the thread title, the better response you'll have.

"Was your Pip-Boy Edition Cancelled by Walmart? Reply here!"

I got in on the second wave of pre-orders from Best Buy.....no cancellation yet (knocks on wood).

Am I able to edit it? Thanks for the tip!

Did they give you a reason as to why it was cancelled?

Did your CC expire since you placed the pre-order? (this happened to me once on something like this)

Nope Preorderssss from Amazon... I would be wary of site like Walmart and Best Buy even though they are large and popular their websites are clunky. Well I could say Amazon to but serpent and the rainbow won't count because that was scream factory's fault.

You can't edit a thread title, but I fixed it for you

Thank you for fixing it. As for a reason, they tried to process payment 12 days before release. The money wasn't in my account yet, but it was the next day. I called each day until the cancellation email to tell them that the funds were available. I called my bank after it was canceled, & the bank told me that Walmart only tried processing payment on that initial day; they never tried again despite being told the funds were there.

Yeah, unfortunately they only have to try once.. The payment didn't go through and they spun around and sold it because they knew they could.

They could have sold it...to me. Still doesn't explain why they tried 12 days before SD.

Gamestop has more with a bundle crap to bump up the price

I preordered the Fallout 4 PC Pipboy Edition on Gamestop. After 5 months of waiting, believing I had secured my order, i received an email saying my credit card was declined. Except Gamestop has repeatedly attempted to charge my credit card with odd sums of money. They blame my credit card, but i have tried to "update my order" using 3 different cards. All the same result. Gamestop have refused any further help on the matter. Their customer support email is down and I have already waited on hold to them for over an hour.

I would have ordered the Pipboy Edition locally from EBgames but they sold out too quickly.

Gamestop appears to have done this to several customers.

I suspect they are cancelling legit customer orders to create these "complete bundles"

Won't order from them again...

Sounds like your fault unfortunately. So there's probably no widespread conspiracy of cancellations warranting a thread then.

Target screwed me out after a month of when I had placed my pre-order. They gave me a BS reason of my order not being sent through the system or something.

I'm trying to understand how it is my fault when 1) I made the funds available the following day, 2) informed them on the 30th, 31st, & 1st that the funds were available, 3) emailed them to request that my payment be reprocessed on the 31st, & 4) still have yet to be given an explanation or even confirmation that my order would have shipped at that time therefore justifying why my payment would be processed 12 days prior to release. Additionally, I have been in contact with approximately 5 other people who claim Walmart did the same to their orders. Now it seems that people are experiencing issues with other retailers, & many have claimed that their orders have not been shipped nor have they been charged yet by other retailers. I think I did all I could to remedy the situation.

I could be wrong, but something seems off about the way my order & the orders of others were handled. In honesty, I've accepted & reconciled not getting the Pip-Boy Edition. I just don't like feeling deceived as a consumer.

Lastly, I respect your opinion & thank you for responding. With that said, I don't think it's up to you, me, nor anyone else to dictate what is or isn't a topic "warranting a thread." We all have our thoughts, feelings, opinions, etc. & I think that is exactly what forums are for.

You didn't have the funds available when they wanted payment. How is that anyone else's fault? This is why people balance their check books. So if they make a purchase that hasn't cleared they know they have funds. Same goes for preorders and credit cards.

Not sure abut Wallmart but GameStop is collecting payments for placed preorders today and they sent out a courtesy email reminder to all who preordered a pip-boy edition to make sure their payment methods are in order......I suspect Wallmart is also collecting payments around this time too. A whole lot of people who didn't stay on top of their cards expiration dates or account balances are going to be pissed off about now and tossing their toys out of the pram with condemnations of GameStop/Wallmart/Santa Clause for screwing up their orders and accuse the retailers of deliberately screwing them over and so on. I've been doing business with GameStop for well over 10 years online and in a lot of different stores in all kinds of states and they have never purposefully screwed me over.....they almost accidentally screwed me over because an employee was confused and didn't know what he/she was doing but I absolutely believe that it is also my duty as a gamer to check, double-check, triple-check things from my end and I have always been able to quickly fix any issues I had with them before reaching a point of no return and even then I have had very few issues with them.

Hope they can resolve my issue then. There is no problem with my credit card and I have been online shopping with it for over a decade and never had this kind of situation till now.

I completely agree that it is my fault that I did not have the funds available at the time they processed payment. But for most online orders, payment is not processed UNTIL the time an order is going to be shipped. It is not my fault, however, that I made the funds readily available & notified the retailer of that fact. The payment could be processed successfully, yet the retailer did nothing to follow through. We are not even addressing the highly irregular situation of attempting to process payment almost 2 full weeks ahead of release. When I have pre-ordered before, my account was charged, at most, 2 days before street date; historically, I have been charged the day before release. My point being that the circumstances of this are very peculiar given the usual way online orders are processed. I am especially intrigued by the fact that Walmart, at no time, tried to charge me again when they give 3 days to resolve any discrepancies.

At least Gamestop is sending a courtesy email advising customers to check their payment methods. Walmart did no such thing. Additionally, Walmart tried charging my account almost a full week ago. Even in a rare case, that seems very premature.

No offense to the people who are having this kind of trouble, but I'm definitely interested in what the fine print said on their pre orders. I'm just curious to be honest. I don't read the fine print as often as I should myself.

I haven't heard of a single order cancel come from the Official Bethesda Store. I'm glad I pre-ordered mine from there.

Neither have I. I've only heard so far of issues with Walmart, Target, & Gamestop. Nothing from Amazon or Bethesda.

I pre-ordered my PIP BOY EDITION from Amazon back in June. I check my order page daily just to make sure it's still there, all these stories of cancellations recently have made me nervous.

Dude don't worry about that. I've been doing the exact same thing for about 4 months now. I am crazy obsessive but I heard if they haven't canceled it by now, you're golden.
